attempt should be made to induce Congress

tenance of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
Ia view of the circumstances of the case,
previously referred to by the GAZETTE
there are several good and sufficient reasons
why such an appropriation should be made

REPRESENTATIVE O'FERRALL, as state'

REPRESENTATIVE O'FERRALL. as stated
in the Washington correspondence OF the
GAZETTE some days ago, during his ias'
canvass avowed himself in favor of strictly
revenue tariff upon every stump from which
he spoke, and explained the difference be-
tween that kind OF 6 tariff and one that IS
protective and that the former is the more
nopular when understood, even in manu-
fscturing districts, was proved by the fact
that he carried the precinct in Page county
that contains the large Mines iron works
by forty majority, though it bad previously
given one hundred majority for the repuoh-
cans. Mr.. O'Ferrall is ore il The three
.,sla,ocratic representatives Virginia now
bos in the lower house OF Congress. Posi-
bly. if his example had been followed by Inc
democratic candidates forCongress in the 9TH
or districts, more than bare two OF the remain
ing zine would have been elected. If poor
people-the vaat majority OF the voters OF the
country-have their own individual inter
ests at heart, all that they need to make
them supporters of revenue, and oppo-
pents of a protective tariff, is that they shall
thoroughly understand the tariff question
Democratic candidates for Congress next
fall would do we'll to learn the lesson aiiord'
ed them by Mr. O'Ferrall's experience.

State at the recent election with that po!ieo
two years ago shows that the democratic

that immense loss can bs regained by per
sistenca in vaio and expensive attempts
to set aside decisions of the U. S. supreme

refusal to demand the recognition OF the

nation of Southern man for Vice President,

next three weeks, according to Chaille,
there should be gain of at least from
two to four ounces every week. TIL,
greatest gain OF weight throughout lif,
IS during the first five months, the maxi
mum being usually attained during tn.
second month. The increase during thi.
maximum month should be from four I,
seven ounces weekly, and the next tire,
succeeding months about five ounces
weekly. During the remaining sever

be at least from two to four ounce.
weekly. The gain is less than indicated
at times when the infant may suffer,
